We know spring is coming when the sea ice floats in, the late bits arriving red-tinged with PEI soil. Yesterday we noticed a white line along the horizon and within a few hours a thick line of sea ice slushed its way into the bay. Usually the ice brings seals and their pups, and this year is no different. Here are some photos Andy took while on a beach walk with Honey. You can click on them to get a better view.
Last year the sea ice didn't arrive and of course there was speculation why, global warming being one of the concerns. This year so far the ice is spare and thin, but perhaps there is more to come.
Below is the Canadian Government (notice I did not call it the Harper Government) weather site with a link to their sea ice map that shows our area. You can click on the map to enlarge it to more easily read the legend.
